1t is greatly to the credit Of the Columbia
sophomores that they were successful in sta,
ing the attempt to reconsider tho resolution
aboIishng crushing" The majority against
recOnsidcring was narrow, but it was larger
by one than the vote by which the Original
action was taken. The junior class are play
ing petty part in using their influence TO
ward the freshmen.
The Board of Education has decided to in
troduce manual training in six schools for boys
and six for girls. This is only an experiment,
and one of doubtful expedicncy. The i'm
portance of training the hand and the eye as
well as the brain is generally appreciated but
are not the pupils of the public schools already

ance? Train the hand and the eye If you
will but in special art or industrial schools.
Chicago did the magnanimous thing by Prcsi-
dent Cleveland Although he stayed in st.
Louis three days and in Chicago only one, the
Lake City gave him a hearty welcome, and
having the advantage of being later stage in
the Presidents progress, Outdid its sometime
rival in the cordiality Of its reception and the
gorgcOusness Of its display. The affair was
striking from the fact that Republicans and
Democrats alike joined in doing honor to the
Nations Chief Magistrate.

votes This practically settles the question
so far as the sending out of missionaries who
NAV be touched with the Andovcr heresy ESQ
called is involved. Missionaries will be COM
missioned hereafter as heretofore by the Pru-
dental Committee, and not by church councils,
which may differ widely on doctrinal points
The decision of the Board, however, has no
binding force upon the Congregational Church
at large. 4
With the making of the Republican NOM
nations to-day the campaign In Brooklyn Will
be fairly opened. Both the county and the
city ticket are to be completed this afternoon
and evening. So far as the chief Office TO be
filed the Mayoralty, is concerned, the indica-
lions point to the unanimous choice by the City
Convention OF Colonel Andrew ID. Baird, in
whose direction the finger Of destiny seems to
have been veenng for some time. II he is
made the candidate there is no reason why
he should not receive the cordial support OF
every truly independent voter who is unwilling
to SEQ the city longer weighted down by the
incubus of the Democratic Ring. The dele
gates chosen to select the candidates may DC
trusted TO act with discretion and to make up
o ticket of clean, honest men, who, II elected
will do credit TO themselves and TO Brooklyn |
The Democratic State Committee organized /
yesterday by the election Of Edward Murphy !
